Sydney Wildlife Tour: Koala & Kangaroo Encounters with BBQ Lunch
About This Experience
Enjoy a special koala meeting, friendly kangaroo encounters and discover dingoes, a saltwater crocodile, Tasmanian devil, rainbow lorikeets and more. Your local host captures candid photos throughout the day, so you can enjoy every moment.
Then tuck into an all-you-can-eat Aussie BBQ, cooked by your host, with Australian wine and a cheese platter. And yes, we'll throw shrimp on the barbie! Vegetarian and vegan options are available - no worries, mate.
Finish with a fun boomerang-throwing lesson. With just 10 guests maximum, it's a relaxed, personal day out rather than a crowded coach tour. Great for couples, friends, solo travellers and families with children aged 4+.
We also support Aussie Ark's work, protecting threatened Australian wildlife through a daily conservation donation.
Come for the koalas. Stay for the BBQ, boomerangs and Aussie hospitality!
Tour Itinerary
20 min
Meet at the local famous Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf! The Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf is the world's largest timber-piled finger wharf, measuring 410 meters long and 64 meters wide. Built the massive structure between 1910 and 1916 under the design of engineer Henry D. Walsh. Served as the primary exit point and dispatch center for Australia’s booming wool trade for roughly 70 years.
We'll be driving through the beautiful Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park! Very green, clean, fresh air! Beautiful highway that carves through natural sandstone in several locations.
You'll see the absolutely magical Hawkesbury River and some of the Hawkesbury Region, along the way!
A very scenic area, beside the Hawkesbury River <3
